WILLIAM NEWMAN, or SHERMAN, TEXAS.

LAMP.

SPEOIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 281,716, dated July 24, 1883.

Application filed April 25, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM NEWMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sherman, in the county of Grayson and State of Texas, have invented anew. and useful Lamp, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in lamps in which the reservoir is beveled, adapt ing it for use in conjunction with a conical corrugated reflector and the object of my improvement is to produce a lamp that will afford more and better light with a given amount of oil. I attain. these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a front elevation,showing part of the reflector broken away; and Fig. 2, a side view of the same.

Similar letters refer to similarparts throughout the several views. I

The reservoir A of lamp may be made of tin or any suitable material. It is square upon the bottom and back, and from the bottom of front side it slopes upward and backward, forming an angle corresponding with that of the conical reflector B, referred to hereinafter. From the bottom edge of this beveled side starts the wick-tube O, which extends upward to a little above the top of reservoir A, to which tube any suitable burner, a, is attached.

0 is ascrew-cap, which may be removed when necessary to fill the lamp.

tending them all around the disk its outer circumference is contracted, forming the desired conical corrugated reflector. The inner circle is then covered with a dished piece, D, and the outer circle cut out sufficiently at top to clear lamp-chimney E and at bottom to clear wick-tube O. The support 6, soldered to it, re tains it in position on the reservoir A.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a lamp, the combination of the oil-reservoir A, with beveled front and screw-cap O, with the conically-corrugated reflector B, at: tached to said beveled front by the supporte, and having openings in its edge for the lampchimney E and wick-tube O, as herein shown and set forth.

WILLIAM NEWMAN.
